Flyer types

A flyer is bought by the thousand and judged in three seconds, so the choices that matter are size, how many sides you use, and whether anything survives after the flyer itself is thrown away.

A5 handbill

The workhorse. Big enough to carry an offer and a photograph, small enough to hand over in quantity and to slip under a gate. If you are not sure, this is the size to start with.

A4 flyer

Twice the space, for a service list, a rate card, a menu of packages or anything a customer is meant to keep and refer back to rather than glance at.

A6 handout

The high-volume size. Cheapest per piece by a distance, which makes it the sensible choice for large distributions where the message is short and the offer does the work.

Double-sided flyers

Offer on the front, detail on the back. Costs very little more than single-sided and gives you somewhere to put the service list without crowding the front panel.

Tear-off coupon flyers

A perforated section the reader tears off and keeps. The flyer goes in the bin within the hour; the coupon with your number on it ends up in a drawer or a wallet.

Shaped and die-cut flyers

Cut to an outline instead of a rectangle, or with rounded corners and a punched hole. It costs the same as a rectangle here, and it is the cheapest way to not look like everyone else.

Sizes

Sticking to standard sizes keeps the price down, because they cut economically from a sheet.

  • A6, 105 x 148 mm – the cheapest per piece and the easiest to hand out in volume. Room for a headline, an offer and a number, and nothing else.
  • A5, 148 x 210 mm – the standard handbill and the most ordered size. Enough space for an offer, a photograph and a short service list.
  • A4, 210 x 297 mm – for rate cards, package lists and anything a customer is meant to keep. Also the size that works pinned to a notice board.
  • DL, 99 x 210 mm – long and narrow, fits a rack, an envelope or a delivery bag without folding. Good for a short sequence of offers down the page.
  • A5 with a tear-off strip – add 50 to 60 mm at the base for a perforated coupon carrying a code and your number.
  • Custom shapes – any outline you draw, cut at no extra cost. Rounded corners, a shaped edge or a punched hole all come straight from your artwork.

A3 is the largest sheet we print, so anything bigger than a poster is outside what we produce. For a flyer that is never a limitation, since past A4 you are no longer handing it to anyone.

Paper stocks

Weight is the whole decision on a flyer. Lighter paper is cheaper and right for volume distribution where the piece is read once. Heavier paper costs more per piece and earns it back when the flyer has to survive a bag, a pocket or a month on a fridge door.

130gsm matte

The standard flyer stock. Light, economical in volume, low glare so text stays readable in bright daylight, and meant to be handed over rather than kept.

130gsm glossy

The same weight with a shiny coated face. Photographs and strong colours look considerably better on it, which matters when you are selling food, property or a product by picture.

170gsm matte or glossy

Noticeably more substantial in the hand. Worth the difference when the flyer carries a rate card or anything the customer is meant to keep, because weight signals that it is worth keeping.

Plain paper

Untreated, so a price, a date or a name can be written on it at your counter. Also the right choice for information handouts where a glossy face would look like an advertisement.

Coloured and kraft

A flyer that is not white gets noticed in a stack of white ones, and a single ink colour on a coloured or kraft sheet costs exactly the same as full colour on white.

Perforation and die-cutting

Tear-off coupons, shaped outlines, rounded corners and punched holes, all cut here from your artwork at no extra cost and with no minimum tied to the shape.

Designing a flyer that gets a response

A flyer is read at arm’s length by someone who has already decided it is junk. You have about three seconds and one line to change that.

  • Lead with the service, not the brand. AC servicing. Home tuition. Water tank cleaning. Your name means nothing to someone who has not heard of you; the service means everything to someone who needed it this week.
  • One offer and one action. Three offers on a flyer means the reader chooses none of them. Decide what you want to happen and cut everything that does not serve it.
  • Put a deadline on it. An open-ended discount gets kept for later, and later never comes. A date, or even a stated number of days, is what turns a kept flyer into a call.
  • One number, big. Preferably a WhatsApp number with a QR code beside it, because most people will message rather than call a stranger. Put it on both sides, since you cannot control which way up it lands.
  • Name the area. Saying which block, society or phase you already work in beats any general claim, because it tells the reader you are two streets away.
  • Leave white space. Filling every millimetre feels like value for money and reads as noise. A flyer with one clear message and room around it gets read more often than one carrying six.
  • Print a code on it. A short code the customer mentions is the only reliable way to know whether the run worked. Different codes for different areas and you learn which streets to go back to.
  • Add a tear-off coupon if you can. The flyer will be thrown away. A perforated piece with a code and a number survives in a drawer, and it is the part that actually returns.

Getting them into the right hands

Where the flyers go decides the result far more than what they cost to print. Each route reaches a different person.

  • Counter stacks at a pharmacy, salon, grocery or bakery near you. The cheapest route of all and often the best, because it reaches people already spending money in your area. Ask the owner first and offer to print something for them.
  • Gate to gate through a society or apartment block. Slow, but it lands in the hands of people who live exactly where you want customers. Cover one block properly rather than spreading thinly across six.
  • Newspaper inserts reach households rather than doors. Cheaper per piece and far less targeted, so they suit a broad offer rather than a local one.
  • Hand to hand at markets, events and outside a venue. The only route where you can pick who receives it, which makes it the most efficient if your customer is identifiable on sight.
  • Parcel inserts. If you already ship orders, a flyer in the box reaches someone who has paid you once and costs nothing to deliver.
  • Code by route. Same flyer, a different code per area or per shop. It costs nothing extra and it tells you which half of the spend worked.
  • Pay distributors by street, not by bundle. Paying for bundles handed out encourages dumping. Give a specific street list and spot-check it yourself.
  • Time it. A flyer delivered mid-morning is read in the evening. One delivered late at night is often cleared away before anyone sees it.

Urdu and bilingual flyers

Of everything on this site, the flyer benefits most from Urdu. It is handed to whoever is standing there, and an English-only flyer loses a large share of that audience before it is read.

  • Lead in Urdu for street and gate distribution. An Urdu headline with English contact details underneath reaches more households in most areas. Judge it by the neighbourhood you are covering, not by how your website reads.
  • Write the Urdu, do not translate it. Offers, urgency and deadlines land differently in Urdu, and a word-for-word translation of an English headline usually loses whatever made it work.
  • Keep phone numbers and prices in standard numerals, since they are dialled or typed into WhatsApp straight off the page.
  • Use one side per language if the message is long, rather than crowding both onto one face. It also doubles as a reason to print double-sided.
  • Send Urdu as outlines or a print-ready PDF with fonts embedded. Nastaliq letters join and reshape, so live text in a font we do not hold will break apart.
  • Working in InPage? Export to PDF and send that rather than the .inp file. If you only have the InPage layout, send it and we will rebuild it as a print file.
  • Set Urdu larger with more line spacing. The script reads lighter than Latin type at the same size, and a flyer is read quickly in daylight glare.

Sindhi and Pashto follow the same rules and are worth considering where your distribution is concentrated outside the major cities.

Why businesses print their flyers with Zarvex

Flyers are cheap enough that people order without thinking, which is exactly why so many runs end up in a bin unread.

Tear-off coupons and shapes

Perforated coupons, shaped outlines, rounded corners and punched holes are cut here from your artwork, at no extra cost and with no minimum tied to the shape.

Coded batches at no extra cost

The same flyer with a different code per area, per shop or per distributor, so your responses tell you where they came from. It costs nothing and most printers will not do it.

Every file checked

Resolution against final size, colour mode, bleed and safe areas, plus a scan test on any QR code in the artwork. Problems come back to you while they are still fixable.

Told when it will not work

If the design is unreadable at arm's length or the offer has no deadline, we will say so before you print thousands. Quotes are in PKR.

How ordering works

01. Pick size and paper

Choose a product from the range above, then set the size, the weight, single or double-sided, any coupon or shape and the quantity.

02. Send your artwork

Upload a print-ready file, or send your offer, logo and photographs on WhatsApp and our designers will lay the flyer out for you.

03. Approve the proof

You get a proof of both sides with trim and bleed marked. Check the offer, the deadline, the number and any code before approving.

04. Printed and delivered

Printed, cut, perforated where needed and boxed, then delivered in Karachi or couriered nationwide. Files stay on record for reprints.

Getting your artwork press-ready

Flyers are simple to set up, and the mistakes are almost always about resolution and margins.

  • 300 DPI at final size, CMYK, with 3 mm bleed on all four edges and a 4 mm safe area inside the trim.
  • Vector for logos and type. A logo enlarged from a small image file will print soft. A photograph taken on a phone and sent through WhatsApp arrives compressed and will look blotchy at A5 or larger.
  • Supply front and back as separate files or pages, clearly marked. A single file with both sides side by side has to be split, and that is where sides get swapped.
  • Tear-off coupons need 5 mm clear of the perforation on both sides of the line, and the coupon must repeat your phone number. A coupon carrying only a code is useless once the flyer is binned.
  • Shaped flyers need the cut path on its own layer as a vector path in a spot colour named CutContour, set to overprint and not printing.
  • Rich black at C40 M30 Y30 K100 for large dark areas. Flat K100 across a full-bleed back prints as a washed grey.
  • Borders are risky. A thin frame around the edge exaggerates any cutting shift and looks uneven on one side. Make borders 5 mm or wider, or leave them off.
  • QR codes at 20 mm square or larger, dark on light, with a clear margin around them and away from the trim.
  • Files: print-ready PDF is best. We also accept AI, EPS, CDR from CorelDRAW, packaged INDD and layered PSD at final size.

No artwork yet? Send your offer, logo, photographs and the area you are covering, and our design team will build both sides before it goes to proof.

Flyers by trade

Who you are handing it to decides the language and the size. What you want back decides whether it needs a coupon.

Home services and maintenance

AC servicing, water tank cleaning, pest control, plumbing and solar. Seasonal timing does most of the work here: the same flyer is a different business in April than in December.

Restaurants and takeaways

A short menu and a first-order code, dropped into nearby offices and apartment blocks or slipped into delivery bags. The code tells you which blocks to repeat.

Property and real estate

Block-by-block drops announcing a listing, a project or an open viewing. Number the tear-off coupon by street and the responses map your demand.

Schools, academies and tuition

Admission and enrolment drives in the residential blocks around the campus. Distance is your strongest argument, so lead with the location rather than the curriculum.

Clinics, labs and pharmacies

Camp announcements, test packages and new service notices, usually bilingual, where the information matters more than the branding.

Shops and showrooms

Sale periods, new stock and seasonal offers for the streets immediately around the shop. Local reach beats wide reach for anything people walk to.

Quantities, pricing and planning

Cost per flyer falls as the run grows, and flyers fall faster than most jobs because several cut from one sheet. Quotes are in PKR and cover the paper, printing, cutting and any perforation.

QuantityCost per flyer
A test batchHighest per piece, and worth doing first
A few hundredNoticeably lower
Around a thousandBest value on most jobs
Larger runsQuoted per job

Flyers are bought by the thousand and wasted by the thousand, so the run is worth planning around the distribution rather than the unit price.

  • Test before you scale. A small batch in one block will tell you whether the offer works. Printing thousands of an offer nobody responds to is an expensive way to learn the discount was too small.
  • Cover one area properly. The same quantity across one neighbourhood outperforms it spread over six, because a name seen repeatedly registers differently to one seen once.
  • Split the run into coded batches. Same flyer, different code per area. It costs nothing and turns a distribution into information.
  • Do not over-order a dated offer. Leftovers from an expired campaign are waste, and flyers are cheap enough that people habitually order twice what they actually hand out.
  • Store them flat and dry. Paper takes up humidity, and a box left in a damp store room will curl before it is distributed.

Reorders are simple. Your file stays on record, so a repeat run needs no new setup and no new proof unless the offer or the code has changed.

Flyer printing FAQs

Smaller than most printers will take. A test batch for one block, or a short run for a single event, is a normal order here rather than something we turn away. Tell us the quantity you have in mind and we will confirm it with your quote.

A5 unless you have a reason not to. It is the standard handbill, it carries an offer and a photograph comfortably, and it is easy to hand over. Go to A6 when the message is short and the quantity is large, and to A4 when the flyer carries a rate card or something the customer will keep.

Usually yes. It costs very little more and gives you room for a service list or an Urdu version without crowding the front. Put your phone number on both sides, since you cannot control which way up the flyer lands in someone’s hand.

130gsm for volume distribution, where the flyer is read once and thrown away. 170gsm when it carries a rate card or something meant to be kept, because the extra weight signals that it is worth keeping. Plain uncoated paper if anyone needs to write on it.

Yes, perforated so it separates cleanly, and it is the most useful thing you can add. The flyer itself is always thrown away; the coupon survives in a drawer or a wallet. Repeat your phone number on the coupon rather than just a code, and we can number or code them by area so you can measure the response.

Yes, and it costs the same as a rectangle. Any outline you draw, rounded corners, or a punched hole so the flyer can hang. There is no cutting die to pay for and no minimum tied to the shape.

Yes, at no extra cost. The same flyer with a different code, number or phone extension per area, per shop or per distributor. It is the only reliable way to know which part of a distribution worked, and it is the single most useful thing most people never ask for.

Yes. Send your offer, logo, photographs and the area you are covering. Our designers build both sides and send a proof, and we will tell you honestly if the headline will not read at arm’s length or the offer has no deadline on it.

Yes, and for street and gate distribution it usually reaches far more people. Lead in Urdu with English contact details, keep phone numbers in standard numerals, and write the Urdu rather than translating an English headline word for word. Send it as outlines or a print-ready PDF, and export from InPage to PDF rather than sending the .inp file.

Only if they are 300 DPI at final size. Pictures taken on a phone and forwarded through WhatsApp arrive heavily compressed and will look blotchy at A5 or larger. Send the original files straight off the camera or phone rather than a forwarded copy.

Across most of them, and the list keeps growing. The flyers we print regularly go to home services and maintenance, restaurants and takeaways, property and real estate, schools and academies, clinics and pharmacies, and shops and showrooms.

The trade matters less than the offer. If your line of work is not named above, tell us what you are promoting and where you will be handing it out, and we will tell you what suits it.

Yes. Orders are couriered anywhere in Pakistan, including Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Faisalabad, Multan, Peshawar, Hyderabad and Quetta, and delivery within Karachi can be arranged directly. Flyers are boxed flat so they arrive without curling at the edges.

Pick a product from the range above and order on the site, or send your requirement on WhatsApp with the size, paper, single or double-sided, any coupon and the quantity. We will come back with a quote in PKR before anything moves forward.
